GW (17-26, 7-7 A-10) has won eight of its last 11 games following a doubleheader sweep of A-10 foe La Salle on Thursday. Wilson went 4-for-6 with three RBIs, four runs scored and three stolen bases to pace the offense, while Clauss and Penna were each solid on the mound.

Freshman Victoria Valos is batting a team-best .326 with 24 RBIs and 16 extra-base hits. Wilson closely follows at .323 with a team-best nine home runs - one shy of Jackie Yaniga's program record set in 2005 - and her 34 runs scored this season are the second-most in school history. In addition, Wilson's .478 on-base percentage is aided by a school-record 32 walks.

Dayton (18-23, 5-6 A-10) has won four of its last five following a doubleheader split with IUPUI on Tuesday. Brandy Brown is batting a team-best .347 and also leads the Flyers with 17 RBIs, while Kathleen Maloof has 14 extra-base hits, including seven home runs, and she has scored 21 runs. Kayla English (8-7) paces Dayton on the mound with a 2.32 ERA and 99 strikeouts in 102.2 innings of work. In addition, Jordan Jennings is the reigning A-10 Rookie of the Week.

GW is 6-10 all-time against the Flyers following a doubleheader split in Dayton last season. Then-freshman Chelsea Lenhart combined to go 5-for-10 with five RBIs and three runs scored in last year's meetings.

At the plate, senior Ollie Mittag is batting .455 with three runs, two doubles, one home run and two RBIs in his last five games, while classmate Stephen Oswald is hitting .421 with two doubles and five RBIs in the last five outings.

Oswald leads the Colonials' offense, hitting at a .326 clip with nine doubles, two home runs and 26 RBIs, while sophomore Aaron Weisberg's ERA of 2.39 ranks fourth in the A-10 among pitchers with at least six appearances.
